If you’re looking for the proper way to observe Chris Lombardi’s birthday (rather than say, sending Chris a very lavish gift and/or cash) you might consider former Railroad Jerk/White Hassle frontman Marcellus Hall’s new band.

They’re playing tonight at the Blender Theatre — perhaps the most prestigious auditorium named after a rock magazine since the closing of the Metal Hammer Centre For The Performing Arts. I won’t be there, so tell me how it went.
